In History, Class 12 have been exploring the social hierarchy of the ancient Kingdom of Benin, looking at how society was organised – from the powerful Oba (king) at the top to enslaved people at the bottom.
The children have been investigating the rights, privileges, restrictions and disadvantages experienced by each social group, developing their understanding of what life was like for different people in Benin society. Next, they will use their research to write historical arguments exploring an important question: Was society in the Kingdom of Benin organised fairly?
